Ricky had been watching Jillian for the past several minutes before he finally announced his presence. “Fun party, huh?”
She jumped and turned around. “Don’t sneak up on me like that.” The sun was low on the horizon, lighting up her face and hair as it streamed in through the barn window. She was absolutely irresistible.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” He walked up to her. A week and a half after the delivery, she still had a swollen belly she tried to hide under a loose flowery blouse, but he could feel it when he stood behind and wrapped his arms around her. “Your hair smells good.”
“That’s probably the goats you’re smelling,” she joked.
He kissed the top of her head. “I love you. I hope you know that.”
She looked up at him with a face that was perfectly trusting.
